The Australian SQL Server User Group would like to invite you to attend the Australian launch of Kalen Delaney's latest publication "Inside SQL Server 2005, The Storage Engine" (Microsoft Press). This event will be conducted at Microsoft's new Melbourne offices, located at Freshwater Place, Southbank on Monday, November 27th 2006 at 5:30PM.

Kalen Delaney's series of "Inside SQL Server" books have built up a reputation over nearly ten years as the most technically rich & useful books available about SQL Server technology. This latest edition covers SQL Server 2005 engine architecture, metadata, database and file structures, the transaction log, table storage, index storage, locking and concurrency & should be a useful addition to any serious DBA or developer's bookshelf.

More detailed information about the book is available here:

A limited number of copies of the book (~50) are available for members to purchase at the session, each of which will be personally signed by Kalen on for the special price of AUS$65.00, (well below RRP).

To ensure you receive one of these limited copies, you can either pre-purchase a copy by contacting Mr Brett Clarke from Solid Quality Learning on 03 9864 6999 or you can purchase a copy on the night if any remain.
